A Pakistani citizen residing in Canada has been extradited to the US to face terrorism-related charges, including attempting to provide material support to ISIS and plotting a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn, federal authorities announced.&nbsp;
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who was arrested in Canada on September 4, 2024, is accused of planning a violent attack inspired by the Islamic State terrorist organisation.
US officials allege that Khan intended to cross the border from Canada to New York and carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish facility on October 7, 2024, to coincide with the first anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
In a post on social media platform X, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Khan&rsquo;s extradition and commended the collaborative efforts that led to the prevention of the planned attack.
&ldquo;Major news&hellip; earlier this afternoon, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan&hellip; was extradited to the United States on charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS and attempting to commit acts of terrorism,&rdquo; Patel stated.
He further revealed chilling details of the thwarted plot, noting that Khan had planned to strike on a symbolic date. 
&ldquo;Khan allegedly planned his attack to occur on October 7, 2024 &mdash; the one year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel,&rdquo; the post read.
The FBI Director praised the swift coordination between international agencies: &ldquo;Thankfully, the great work of FBI teams and our partners exposed those plans and shut them down.&rdquo; 
Khan&rsquo;s arrest and eventual extradition underscore the importance of cross-border intelligence sharing, especially in terrorism-related threats.
Director Patel highlighted the broader context of the case, pointing to the rise in antisemitic threats globally.
&ldquo;This case is a reminder of the constant threat of terrorism facing every corner of the world &mdash; as well as the disturbing rise in threats against our Jewish communities.&rdquo;
He credited the work of multiple FBI divisions in handling the investigation, giving special mention to "@NewYorkFBI, @FBIChicago, and @FBILosAngeles" for their roles in bringing the suspect to US soil to face justice.
Khan is now in US custody and is expected to face trial in a federal court in New York. Further details about the court proceedings are awaited.
